Itum-Ardent Cross Country Hibok HibokmClimb

The cross-country trek is a touch of the various forest floors and faunas... The trail from Itum is a pictureque of lush green forest crowned with giant ferns as old as dinosaurs... The towering volcanic peaks is equally breathetaking with canopy of dancing clouds. On a sunny day at the peak is a panoramic 360 degrees view of the surrounding mountains and sea including the island of Bohol and Mindanao mainland nearby. Ms. Rosalie Zerrudo, Ecotourguiding Instructress served as tourguide to her friends from Canada and United Kingdom. Mt. Hibok-Hibok climb is becoming a popular detination for local and foreign tourists alike. Since this is a national monument and a protected area, climbing is regulated. Visitors are obliged to secure permit from the DENR office and pay environmental fees (P500 for tourists, P100 for locals, P25 for students).
